Suse 10.0 Installation Problems

Hello all. In the past i have installed the previous version of ISPConfig on Suse 10.0 machines, by following the related 'Perfect Setup' Guides.

On this particular machine, two things have changed. The first one is that now we have this new ISPConfig version (which i have never tested in the past) and the machine has a software raid configuration. These may not be related to the problems i will report, but i mention them for your information.

.. which seems to mean that ISPConfig can not find my mysql installation and thus configure php properly, which is very strange because MySQL is really there. Here is my netstat output:

Thank you for replying. However:
a) The other servers had reiserfs as well. I will take note of your recomendation for not using reiserfs in the future.
b) The mysql-dev package (actually, mysql-devel for Suse) is already installed. ISPConfig still reports the same error.

It reports nothing. It just re-installs the (already installed) packages.

It took me some time to answer your previous post, because i just re-installed the whole OS (Suse Linux 10.0). This time i used the ext3 filesystem, and the quota problems dissapeared (you were right).

So i then proceeded with installing ISP Config (always following the Suse Perfect Setup Guide) and voila.. the exact same problem.

This time i noticed also that when ISPConfig installation begins it does NOT ask me the details of Mysql installation (the password etc...).

The installation proceeds normally, and then the same error (AFTER choosing n on steps 7 and 8)

Code:

checking for mnoGoSearch support... no
checking for msession support... no
checking for mSQL support... no
checking for MSSQL support via FreeTDS... no
checking for MySQL support... yes
checking for specified location of the MySQL UNIX socket... no
checking for MySQL UNIX socket location... no

Please help me, this is driving me crazy because mySql IS there and functioning perfectly:

Please feel free to call me an idiot.
This server is not inside my computer room, it is at a distant location. We have ordered 32 bit machines, we were assured that these were 32 bit machines and now...
